I have written a program that I wanted and though others might find it
fun or useful too. There may be others out there but half the fun is
writing with my features and no nags anyways. Plus I respond to my own
future feature requests much better than other people.
It is a windows program that monitors x10 traffic and lets you
configure alerts (messages) to be sent to an MSN user account when
certain x10 events are triggered.
You can configure sounds for each event (which play on local computer)
which can be useful for audible verification of x10 events being
properly raised (ok this feature is really for a HAL2000 effect). You
can have triggers which play sounds, triggers which send msn messages,
or triggers that do both.
You can also remotely request a history of x10 activity and request
your ip (for dialup users not firewalled).
It requires a computer be turned on... i use a laptop. I can also tell
the program to alert me when the power status changes. If power goes
out, and my notebook switches to battery mode I will receive an alert
that the power went out.
It was designed and tested for the X10 CM15A connected to an XP
Computer via USB cable. The version of MSN tested was the XP default
4.7.
You can get it here (forgive the crude webpage) :
